Bee Line Transport Inc. recently reached out to us to share their story.

Getting audited isn’t something that most fleets look forward to – it can mean a lot of running around, headaches, and time away from driving. However, that wasn’t the case for WAT Supplies. After using the BigRoad Mobile App and the BigRoad Web App to improve their operations, WAT Supplies actually volunteered to be audited by the Ministry of Transportation (MTO)!
